We performed a comparison between DX Spectrum and OpenText Network Node Manager i based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main thing is obviously notifications about alerts, getting ahead of the curve to make sure that we do not have system going down, or if it is down we get to know it earlier."
"It covers a lot of different types of hardware. It can do a lot and saves us time."
"The granular access control that it provided so that you could only see devices that were related to what you were working on was great. I couldn't see the entire inventory of devices. I could only see the ones that were related to my work. It has got a very granular access control component."
"We can plan changes and replacement of end-of-life products in our environment very well because it's very accurate."
"The solution's most valuable features are its integration with Broadcom tools and scalability."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"If you install one node on Network Node Manager and want to scale it up, it's pretty easy to create more nodes."
"You can utilize the main file from various vendors for integration."
"It is a scalable product."
"We do not have any issues stability-wise."
"Real time network monitoring application: It is very stable, which provides quick root cause analysis (RCA) for any network faults."
"It gives us a good overview of what's happening in our networks and the devices in the networks."
"It is stable for fault and availability."
"A good enterprise-level solution."
"The CA Technologies sales team destroyed their relationship with our business units."
"I would recommend AI capability built-in so it becomes more predictable and we jump ahead of the curve. This is the one really important feature I would really like to see in any product that provides alarms."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"Integration with some other tools, and integration with some Network Packet Broker, need some improvement."
"The visual is a little archaic."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"The biggest issue is our integration right now between UIM and Spectrum is lacking."
"They should add AI options in the product's next release."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not powered to drill down for traffic visibility."
"The resources utilized could be a bit higher, and that is one of the challenges that isn't optimized"
"When I open a ticket, usually they respond very late. Some of the people I negotiate with seem undertrained."
"As the technologies evolve, also these solutions or the monitoring tools should evolve to cover the progress in technology, including capabilities related to monitoring of virtualized devices today, as the DNS is on the table in this way."
"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic."
"Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
"Only to improve the GUI."
